OWNERS' INSIGHT

"The house has been a wonderful home for our family for sixty years, and it is a very emotional decision to sell when reminiscing on all the magical memories we have made. We are incredibly lucky to have such wonderful neighbours, with our directly adjoining neighbours, and two others having lived in their homes a similar timeframe. We have always loved the convenience, and now having a fourth generation children running around when visiting, the house and garden gives ample space. Local parks, shops, and schools are all close at hand."
